Description

Greenacres is an established development for those over 60 years of age, set in the heart of leafy Wellswood and comprises thirty-four properties arranged over four levels with this particular apartment occupying a first-floor corner floor position overlooking the attractive rear gardens.

The development features lift access, a communal residents lounge and conservatory which opens onto extensive terracing and the landscaped gardens. Greenacres stands on a tree lined road just a stone's throw from the local village shops in Wellswood with delicatessen, restaurants and pub whilst the picturesque Meadfoot Beach can be found within a reasonable walk through the beautiful Ilsham Valley.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"My grandmother was one of the first residents to move into Greenacres. She lived happily in her apartment for 24 years and enjoyed being an active member of the Greenacre community. The other residents are very welcoming and she became friends with many of them. After having downsized from a home that she loved, she never regretted her decision, and loved the convenience of being a short walk away from the Wellswood shops. Nan’s apartment is bright, spacious, private and peaceful. She took great pleasure in opening the Juliette balcony window and looking at the view of the beautiful garden. Robins and squirrels were regular visitors and when she was less mobile, the outlook brought her much joy. As a family, it was reassuring to know that Nan was safe and secure in an environment that was caring and where there were social events that she could get involved with. We have so many fond memories over the years and I am sure that whoever moves in to No11 will be very happy there."
